2:09
Anyways, ladies and gentlemen, for the first time on job in the
2:12
mouth, we are now talking to former 12 year Pro Bowl running
2:16
back. I'm on Green.
2:18
What's up, Mr. Green? Not much how you guys doing
2:22
we're? Good, man.
2:22
We're cool. We're collective.
2:24
You know, it's, it's funny, I call you Mr. Green because we've
2:27
had a couple of greens on this show and I like, I like the
2:30
color green. I think we all like the color
2:32
green, especially if it's in my pocket.
2:35
Of course we could only. Hold.
2:36
You know, we could only not going to turn down green green
2:38
like that. Nobody would.
2:39
When he's in my pocket. That's absolutely true.
2:41
And Speaking of green, your Green Bay Packers, I mean, it
2:46
starts with the IT starts with green and it ends with the Pack.
2:50
But here's the problem with the Green Bay Packers.
2:52
My friend Michael Parsons goes down this team all season long,
2:56
they had their UPS and their downs.
2:58
Everybody thought that at the end of the season, maybe they
3:01
should fire the coach. But you heard what Love said at
3:05
the press conference. Why we talking about this?
3:07
We just lost. We just got knocked out of the
3:09
playoffs. I don't want to talk about who
3:11
the coach of the team. I want to talk about why we
3:13
didn't win this game. Why do you think the Green Bay
3:16
Packers this year couldn't make that next step?
3:20
Experience, you know, watching the playoffs for all teams, but
3:24
for my team in particular, you know, seeing Jordan, the
3:27
offense, even coach Lafleur, you know, even though he's had
3:31
they've had the success since he's been in the head coaching
3:34
job and then Jordan at the quarterback position since
3:36
Aaron's left. It's a thing called experience
3:39
where playing in certain games, you, you kind of know what you
3:42
have to mentally prepare for. So these athletes physically are
3:45
there. It's the mental side when you're
3:47
actually going into a rival divisional game where this is
3:51
the third time you first deface the team and then it didn't go
3:54
good the last time. So you have that going on.
3:58
But then now you start off fast, first half of this game, the
4:02
playoff game and then second-half, not much going with
4:05
the offensive side of the ball. And so that's between, you know,
4:08
coastal floor and I say the players on that team from the
4:12
play calling, executing and not being I say having that
4:15
something a word. I say a phrase that we said a
4:18
whole lot, a sense of urgency, just having that.
4:21
That's the lack of of that. You know, that's what that game
4:23
was about. And the Bears turned it on.
4:25
They knew they had to you know what they they figured out what
4:28
they needed to do and they already had that experience from
4:30
the previous game when they beat them and shows your field just a
4:33
few weeks, you know, prior. So that right there was the edge
4:37
that Chicago had going into that game and then finishing the game
4:41
because they had already finished the game before and
4:43
beat my Packers. So it's just now mentally, I
4:47
tell, I say people, I tell people all the time, You know,
4:49
this game is not a hard game to play physically when you match
4:53
up evenly. It just comes down to who is
4:55
thinking clearer and then has that emotional push at the right
4:59
time to then execute and not hesitate in any thought process
5:04
from blocking to throwing a pass to catching the ball.
5:07
You know, not all that anxiousness and nervousness that
5:09
comes in to that might make you pause.
5:12
That's where the game is won and lost and it's that close.
5:15
It's just a fine line. It wasn't nothing where it was,
5:17
Oh my God, it was this margin of this much that the, you know,
5:20
the Packers lost by or they should have won by.
5:23
It's just now they have that experience clocked in.
5:26
So what's going to be interesting is this next coming
5:27
seasons and the season to come where Jordan Love and that
5:30
Packers offense, along with the defense is going to be facing
5:33
with Caleb. And they got experience.
5:35
It's going. So we're going to see some
5:36
battles, you know, coming up in the next few years between these
5:38
young teams because they're still young and they got young
5:41
leaders, you know, in terms of the quarterback position and the
5:44
head coach position, you know, be between Ben and mad and
5:47
already the animosity that's been created by phantom
5:50
handshakes or whatever you want to call it.
5:52
And then the Packer Packer fans where I had to get on my fan
5:54
base a little bit because I'm like, you don't raise a petition
5:57
for another coach to apologize to another coach.
5:59
No, we we got to be grown ass men and women and take AL like
6:02
AL, you know, we took the L. That's it.
6:04
You know, I never went over down to Chicago and say Urlacher,
6:07
hey, man, we got to get the position.
6:09
Y'all didn't win that lap. No, Take that like a grown
6:12
person and call it a. Day Aman you, you have a guy
6:15
like Tucker Craft who was becoming a superstar this year.
6:19
He was the best tied in throughout the first half of the
6:23
season. He was unstoppable.
6:24
He had that game that he had three touchdowns.
6:27
He was putting up ridiculous numbers as a tight end.
6:30
He he was looking at like like the next Travis Kelsey, the next
6:33
George Kittle. I mean, he was playing that kind
6:35
of football. And then having the injury that
6:37
he had and being knocked out of the season, I definitely believe
6:41
it hurt the development, development of this offense this
6:44
year. Jordan Love, who was really
6:46
Tucker Craft was his his go to guy really throughout this
6:50
season. Losing him at the tail end of
6:52
the season really affected him. Why do you think Tucker Craft is
6:56
that type of player? And he's the guy, He's the go to
6:58
guy moving forward IN20002627? Aw, man.
7:02
Because he has the talent. I mean, he has the mental, he
7:04
has the physical. He's a dude, as I call it in my
7:07
book. You know, guys that know how to
7:09
get on the football field and they draw attention.
7:12
And then even if they draw the attention, you can't stop them.
7:15
That feeling for a defensive player is dismantling.
7:17
And I love it when I see it when when I see the I remember when I
7:21
used to look across the offense of the defensive line or
7:23
offensive line and see Warren Sepp get that kickstand.
7:25
He put that hand on the hip. He breathing hard.
7:27
I'm like, we got him, We got game over.
7:29
And so that's, you know, that's the type of dude that Tucker is.
7:32
You know, when you get him doing tight end reverses, he's part of
7:35
the tish push now. You know, he's holding on to the
7:38
rock. That saves Jordan from getting
7:39
banged up doing that. So that's a bonus there.
7:42
And he just had that mentality once I saw the film of when he
7:45
got drafted, you know, a couple years ago, I said, oh, they got
7:48
to do. I saw him catching the ball and
7:50
running and stiff forming. And what you see right there on
7:53
on film, right there against the Rams, he was doing that at SDU.
7:56
So I'm like Rs and SDU state. I was like I said, Oh, we got a
8:00
we got to do. So I'm excited about him and how
8:03
he develops and the injury. It's just a bump in the road.
8:06
He's going to come back full goal another.
8:09
And then that weapon, you know, another weapon for Jordan's
8:11
arsenal that has a bunch of young ride receivers that are
8:14
hungry. You got a young veteran running
8:16
back with Josh Jacobs and I love his style.
8:18
I say I'm a little taller than him.
8:20
So that makes that's only makes the difference between him and
8:22
I. So he's I could say many me, but
8:24
he's he's a big man on campus running the ball.
8:28
And I like that because then the offense is not just one one way
8:31
balanced. You know, it's not just running
8:33
heavy. You got to you got to stop the
8:35
pass. And if you don't, you know what
8:37
we going to beat you up in the middle between the A&B gaps with
8:40
with Josh and Emmanuel Wilson as well.
8:42
He coming off the bench to running, running the ball very
8:44
well. You know, the one part that that
8:47
was I say kind of the sucky part of the end is Zach, Tom and Lee
8:51
Davis from the free agent from San Francisco having the
8:54
injuries that slowed them up. You know, that was something
8:57
that as a pro and at any level, you know, when you have key
9:00
players beat up, you see the difference on the football field
9:04
of, of how effective they are. You know, when they're 50%, you
9:08
know, out there just trying to get it going to when they're
9:11
100%. So you saw that towards the end
9:12
of the season. I want to go to the team you
9:14
started your career with, the Seattle Seahawks, obviously
9:16
winning the Super Bowl MVP, being a running back in Kenneth
9:18
Walker, your position now there's a discussion of whether
9:21
they re sign him or not. He wants 13 million a year.
9:23
Obviously the running back contract market has not been
9:25
great. What are your impressions?
9:27
Obviously, the Seahawks dominance with the Super Bowl,
9:29
for one, with their defense and their running game and with
9:31
running back contracts in general across the NFL.
9:33
I'll say yeah, with my impression of the game.
9:35
Amazing. I knew both teams had defenses,
9:38
but I didn't realize they were ranked one and two right behind
9:41
each other, Right. And you saw the difference,
9:44
though, and it was basically watching what I watched in
9:47
person in New York when Seattle played Denver, when Peyton was
9:51
trying to get another one. And the Legion of Boom said, no,
9:54
not today. You know, we go get some pick
9:57
sixes. We go get a K.
9:58
What's that? KJ running a interception back,
10:01
right? So that was the same thing.
10:03
They had the defensive line. They had the linebackers doing
10:06
their job. And they're, you know, balanced
10:08
tackling, you know, making plays, getting the ball tipped
10:12
and just putting pressure on break to where eventually he
10:15
would he was pushed in a situation where, you know what,
10:18
I got to throw this ball up to see what happens.
10:20
You know, that's where the turnovers happen.
10:21
And then when you when the defense does that, they pretty
10:23
much got the game in hand. And you know what wasn't much
10:26
scoring early, but it came later, you know, so I like it.
10:29
I always liked some from the time he got on the team.
10:31
Kenny Walker the third he is he's a shifty back and he's a
10:35
small back, but he runs hard and another.
10:37
So he's kind of a another throwback guy like Josh Jacobs
10:40
that we have in Green Bay. So watching him run, it's fun,
10:44
you know, because he he sets up, he's almost got that Le'veon
10:47
bell patience where he sets up, takes his time walk through hole
10:50
and then boom, he's exploding through the hole and he's
10:52
passing. And that for a defender, trust
10:54
me, that's a that's a sucky feeling to see the running back
10:57
get past you and you're like, God bigger.
10:59
He was right here. It's like, no, he's gone, you
11:01
know, So that offense along with what a Darnold did, you know,
11:07
because he helped kept that patience, that experience that
11:09
he's gained from being a Jet first rounder to a backup 49er.
11:13
To why are you trying to kill me Amen.
11:15
Why are you killing me here? You had to mention it.
11:18
You had to bring up The Jets. You had to every single ex
11:22
athlete that comes on the show. They got to slip that in.
11:25
They had to slip the New York. It's business.
11:28
Got it. I got it.
11:29
Just we. Just met, OK, We just met.
11:31
So it's business. It's all business.
11:33
I'm just freaking facts of what I saw on the field and I'm
11:36
breaking making it down because what he did in Minnesota and
11:40
then come to another team and I told this to Josh Jacobs for his
11:43
first year. I'm like to do what you did come
11:45
into this team as a Packer and become a Pro Bowl player, not
11:49
just regardless of his position. That's not an easy thing to do.
11:53
You know, it took me a couple years when I got traded, then it
11:55
was in my second year. O1 is be where I became a Pro
11:59
Bowler. So to do that year one out of
12:01
the chute, you know, from a team where you got, you know, free
12:04
agent, let him go from the Raiders and he goes to Green Bay
12:07
Pro Bowl first year, that's magic.
12:08
And he did it again this year. So, so no business, always
12:12
business, just spitting facts. Man, business.
12:13
No pleasure. I mean no pleasure for me when I
12:16
hear that. As soon as you bring up The Jets
12:18
and I can remember Sam Donald getting drafted as the third
12:21
pick, youngest quarterback ever drafted.
12:23
And I was so pissed off when The Jets traded him for a two and a
12:27
four and watch this guy win a Super Bowl and hoist that at
12:30
Lombardy Trophy. I was like why me?
12:33
Why me as a Jet fan? As it always is said by the way,
12:37
for everybody to know, we are talking to former 12 year Pro
12:40
Bowl running back, a man Green played in from 1998 to 2009 long
12:46
career with the Seattle Seahawks, the Packers and the
12:49
Texans. IA lot of fans want to know what
12:52
type of quarterback Brett Favre is in the locker room and what
12:55
type of quarterback Aaron Rodgers is.
12:59
You know, you got a chance to get to know both guys.
13:01
What type of personalities are both these guys?
13:05
I say Brett, he is in the locker room the fun.
13:08
He's a fun going guy. He doesn't like the room
13:12
temperature to get below 98°. You don't want it to be cold and
13:16
uncomfortable and nobody having fun.
13:19
So he played a lot of practical jokes.
13:21
He had a fart machine on the daily.
13:23
He will pour water bottle a full thing of cold water on your head
13:27
just to wake you up or Gatorade to really mess up your practice
13:30
uniform. That was him and Aaron was the I
13:33
say more, I say sneaky about the practical joke.
13:36
He was a joker too, but he would be more inside joke ish, kind of
13:42
like the new generation is, you know, having inside jokes,
13:44
laughing amongst a couple of the quarterbacks or what have you.
13:48
And so but it but it but a solid teammate and somebody that you
13:52
want to go out there and make sure you're protecting them.
13:54
As you know, as that was my job. I, I called, I, I, in my head, I
13:58
was the last line of defense for both guys when they, you know, I
14:00
played more with Brett, but the few times I had with Aaron, I'm
14:03
like, I'm, I'm the, I'm the Kevlar, you know, we got the
14:07
electric fence with the offensive line and I'm not, I'm
14:10
literally stuck to the, the, the quarterback's body.
14:13
So I'm, it, I'm the last person that somebody's going to try to
14:16
walk through to get to the quarterback.
14:17
So I made sure I protected them both.
14:20
And I say off the on the field, Brett was one of those guys that
14:26
he's a physical guy for a quarterback, a guy that you
14:29
know, he's going to, if you get past a lot of scrimmage, he's
14:31
going to do something that is going to probably piss the head
14:33
coach off. He won't throw a block or trying
14:36
to run somebody over and be like, Brett, save that for me
14:39
and Dorsey or whoever else is running the ball or bubble
14:42
catching the ball. Let us do the running.
14:44
You do the throwing and the reading the coverages and stuff
14:47
like that. And say, Speaking of cover, just
14:49
every now and then we have to tell him, hey, man, you can't
14:51
throw the ball in there. Three guys, you got three giants
14:54
right there. You have three jets.
14:55
Don't throw the ball. Throw it to out of bounds or to
14:57
me. I'm in the flat, wide open, you
15:00
know. But you love him.
15:01
And he gave it all he could and he was a big kid.
15:04
And then Aaron to seeing him when I was with him young and
15:07
developing preseason ball, he played a lot.
15:11
We, we had more time then and there.
15:12
And then obviously training camp, the way he threw the ball
15:15
in practice, the way I've seen him throw the ball in some of
15:17
the games I had early with him. And then I see later in O 9, I
15:20
knew right away, I say, this is the next dude, he just going to
15:23
have to wait his turn. You know, when he got there, it
15:24
was O 5 and he didn't get on that field to I say 2008, he was
15:29
on it a little bit in O 7, but 8 was when Coach McCarthy gave him
15:33
the keys to the car and we didn't know.
15:36
It's going to be another 20 years slate and Super Bowl win
15:39
and all that. But we knew that this is another
15:42
dude that I'm fortunate for the Packer organization to have
15:46
decades of another great quarterback.
15:48
And that just makes it all easier to try to game plan,
15:51
offense, defense, to make sure that team is doing what they
15:54
need to do offensively to move the ball.
15:56
Mike McCarthy just was hired to do a job over there in
15:59
Pittsburgh, his hometown, his home city, and I love Mike
16:03
McCarthy. I thought that the Giants should
16:05
have hired Mike McCarthy if they want to develop a quarterback.
16:08
Jackson Dart, he developed Aaron Rodgers.
16:10
He. He's damn good at doing that.
16:12
Yeah, and Dak Prescott, too. Look at what Dak Prescott's
16:15
numbers transitioned into when he took over there for the
16:17
Cowboys. I thought the Giants did a
16:19
disservice for Jackson Dart. Not that John Horrible's not a
16:22
great coach. I thought Mike McCarthy was a
16:24
better fit. What type of coach is Mike
16:27
McCarthy for all the Pittsburgh fans that get to know who he is?
16:31
I say coming in first year, usually what he does is he gets
16:36
to know everybody. He gets to know the lay of the
16:37
land. He starts off with his in the
16:40
locker room with his players and then coaches, obviously GM as
16:43
well. And then he gets to know the
16:45
town, but he already knows the town.
16:47
He's one of those townies. He's a townie.
16:49
He's from that area. So that is going to be his
16:53
comfort zone. And then once he gets in and
16:56
introduced himself and everybody, he treats everybody
16:58
like a man, like a grown ass man.
17:01
He tells you, shoots you straight.
17:02
When you want to hear something you want to hear, he's going to
17:04
say it. When you don't want to hear
17:05
something you don't want to hear, he's going to shoot you.
17:07
She's going to tell you, you know, so and and and for me, I
17:11
didn't want it any other way. I had my mom and dad raised me
17:14
that way. My dad used to always never beat
17:16
around the Bush. You know, when I when I was in
17:19
trouble, I was in trouble. You know, when I needed
17:21
something corrected, it got corrected.
17:23
So having coach McCarthy and coaches like him through my
17:26
throughout my career, from college to pro, Those are the
17:29
coaches I like the assistants that don't matter this long.
17:32
You can read me the riot act any time, but coach me help me get
17:36
better. And that's what he did.
17:37
We had, I remember my first year with him in O 6.
17:41
It was just, it was kind of a miscommunication on a few
17:43
instances where I've misread the schedule, like when we needed to
17:47
be on a practice field, but right before practice.
17:50
And if I know you guys heard of Lombardi time just five to 10
17:53
minutes before. And I remember I came out, I
17:56
think practice, special team practice was just wrapping up
17:59
and I was probably like 10 minutes.
18:01
I was like 5 or two minutes. I was within 5 minutes of our
18:05
next practice and he comes over to me.
18:07
He's like AG, I need you to get here a little early.
18:10
I'm like, I'm on time, though. He's like just a little bit
18:13
because, you know, the younger guys are watching you, one of
18:15
our leaders and I'm like, first it kind of bugged me a little
18:18
bit, but then it clicked like I did with you.
18:20
I was like, okay, coach, I got you, you know, and it took a
18:22
little bit for me to get used to that because I was already
18:25
early. But he wants to get, you know,
18:27
get there. So he kind of can have the
18:29
leaders of the team like I was one of them and show the rookies
18:32
like this is how we do it. We get out there 5-10 minutes
18:35
early to make sure we have that leadership.
18:37
Because he knows it's not just him leading the team along with
18:40
the coaches. It's like it's the players at
18:42
certain positions that been there for a minute or just shows
18:45
this is how you play football, This is how you're being for a
18:48
professional and go out there or practice to then transition over
18:52
into the game field on Saturdays on preseason ball or Sundays on
18:56
game day coming the regular season.
18:58
So last year we had one of your teammates on the show, one of
19:00
our favorite interviews we ever did that was Leroy Butler.
19:03
Safety got inducted a few years ago.
19:05
He actually said great Brett Favre and Reggie Whitestorm.
19:07
Hall of Famer Speedy Hall. Of.
19:09
Famer, I said Hall. Of Famer, some respect he got
19:12
inducted. In the Hall of Fame, three
19:13
years. Ago, we interviewed him when he
19:15
was in his car and his son was in the back seat.
19:17
But we interviewed him, yes, and it was.
19:19
The best car service any of our guests have ever had.
19:21
But he also, yeah, it was also funny.
19:23
He was also making Errol seem like he was like 10 years
19:25
younger than he was. It was, and it was funny.
19:27
Like. Like the So what was your
19:30
experience like with him? He was kind of towards the end
19:32
of the career when you went to Green Bay, but how was he on and
19:35
off the field? Oh, he was great guy.
19:37
He was a solid teammate. And like when I got there in
19:39
2000 and a lot of those guys were still there, part of the
19:42
Super Bowl team. The 1916, you know, in my head,
19:46
I was so focused and locked in like when I got traded along
19:50
with a couple other things like not wanting to go back to the
19:52
Midwest, but I'm like, I'm going to a place where they've been in
19:57
the Super Bowls. You know, this team in
19:58
particular, not the organization, but this these
20:01
11-12 guys to an offense, 11-12 guys on defense.
20:05
They just were at 2 Super Bowls. They lost the Denver at one,
20:07
then the other one they they beat the New England Patriots.
20:09
So I'm coming into a place where I got to be on my best behavior
20:14
and I got to be a playing grade A football, like top end
20:17
football no matter what, even in practice, you know, and my first
20:20
mini camp, I remember just walking in that huddle.
20:23
Being a fan, like, man, this is Brett Favre, this is William
20:26
Henderson, across the ball is Gilbert Brown and then Leroy
20:30
Butler. He had a couple sacks in the
20:32
Super Bowl. I was like, OK, man, that means
20:33
I kind of come out here and be that dude that they expect me to
20:37
and that's why I got traded here.
20:38
So that's it started at day one and then the other part that
20:42
made it easier was the fact they welcomed me in just like I was a
20:45
part of the game for the last couple years.
20:47
It was no hazing. It was no, you know, giving me a
20:51
hard time about anything. And he was like, hey, man, how
20:53
you doing? You know, you just got traded
20:55
from Seattle. Hey, so and so was in Seattle
20:57
and it was all welcoming. So that open arm style from even
21:01
Dorsey and William Henderson, the running backs, right,
21:04
running back fullback where obviously as at a place with a
21:07
great guy, you know, person Ricky Waters.
21:10
But he knew he had a competitive nature about himself, that he
21:13
knew that I was the incumbent running back and he knew I was
21:16
one of those dudes that could push him, you know, and get him
21:19
out the job. But, you know, it's like I said
21:21
at the part when I mentioned The Jets, it's business, not
21:24
personal. And you got to understand that
21:27
it's a lot of. Personal with the New York Jets,
21:28
yeah, it's a lot of. Personal, But Dorsey, you know,
21:32
he took me in, you know, and that helped me in my process of
21:36
transitioning over as a Packer and get into the the offensive
21:39
playbook, which was Coach Sherman who was there in Seattle
21:42
with me. But then brought me over and
21:43
kept his same verbiage, which is that helped me a whole lot in
21:46
the next couple years to transition over and become one
21:49
of the guys at In Green Bay. We are talking to former 12 year
21:52
Pro Bowler. Yes, Pro Bowl running back on
21:55
Man Green. Played from 98 to 2009 with the
21:59
Seahawks, the Packers and the Texans.
22:01
Mr. Green, 2003 was your greatest year.
22:04
It was unbelievable. You had 15 touchdowns, you had
22:08
over 1800 yards. You were unbelievable.
22:11
You really you were having a Saquon Barkley year where it was
22:15
just. Unstoppable.
22:17
Yeah, you were you were sensational and honestly for
22:20
like a three or four year stand you were the best running back
22:23
in the league. You can argue you were a top
22:24
three running back and all of football.
22:26
That's how good you were. It's an amazing actually.
22:28
It was four years. That was just back-to-back 2001,
22:32
2002, 2003, 2004. Everybody knew who you were, how
22:35
dominant you were. What was that trigger that
22:37
switched you into being an elite running back?
22:40
What gave you that thought that you can be an elite running back
22:44
in this league? I knew it.
22:45
Once I got drafted, it just I was pissed off and I was a third
22:48
round pick at Seattle. That that's what that's what
22:50
happened. That's what started it and I
22:52
became a special teamer because I could, you know, they drafted
22:56
or they they free agent Ricky Waters in from the Eagles and he
22:59
was the big money back. So that's why I learned
23:01
business, right. They going to pay the, you know,
23:04
the guy who's going to get paid the most is going to get the
23:06
ball regardless of who's better. I learned that year 1.
23:09
And so I was like, you know what, all right, I'm going to
23:11
make this. I'm going to make lemon lemonade
23:13
out of lemons. I'm not going to be sour puss.
23:15
Oh, man, I'm not starting. I'm not the guy.
23:18
You know what? I'm going to go back and bust
23:19
some heads on this kickoff coverage, you know, make some
23:21
plays on punt return and then whatever happens, happens.
23:25
I became the third down back my rookie year.
23:28
I end up setting a record for conversions of third and one and
23:31
four foot one my rookie year and then same thing my second year
23:35
and then boom. That's why Mike Sherman traded
23:37
for me in the trade with Fred Vincent and a fifth round
23:40
conditional big, you know, right before the day before the draft
23:42
and they Seattle. Robbery.
23:45
Yes, and they drafted Sean Alexander, another great back
23:49
out of Alabama to Seattle and I get the Green Bay, so even
23:52
bigger chip on my shoulder like, oh, I see what they'll see, what
23:55
the game plan was here. You know, I mean, Mike Holman,
23:57
he labeled me a fumbler and which I knew I wasn't.
24:00
Sometimes you just have a bad game.
24:01
Sometimes you have some bad moments as a young player and
24:04
you get stuff in your head and you got to shake it out and I
24:06
did. I always knew I so I shook that
24:09
off and that's why those four years went the way those did.
24:12
You know things after that, you know, some things going on off
24:15
the field with my family. So it was kind of distracting a
24:17
little bit in 05. Tore my quad and all that and
24:20
but came back 06, got the 1000 yards again and, you know, went
24:24
free agency, free agent to the Texans.
24:27
Didn't quite work out there. And that's sometimes the way the
24:30
ball bounces. But always for like those four
24:32
years, like you mentioned, it was those between my draft years
24:36
to then transit into Green Bay. Look, give me an opportunity to
24:40
prove that a Nebraska running back can do the job of an NFL
24:44
running back, because that was the question.
24:45
He's he's a Nebraska back. He's a system guy.
24:48
He's only got that because they got big hogs up front blocking
24:51
for him and you got an option offense that's 50 years old.
24:54
I'm like, damn sure works, you know, So what's the what's the
24:57
problem? But I wanted to approve all that
25:00
from all the scouts that looked me over and just thought I was a
25:03
guy that couldn't last four quarters.
25:05
That wasn't fast. Well, I run a 4140 at my pro
25:07
day. I don't think a lot of people
25:08
know that I run a 417 and a 418. And you still think I'm not that
25:13
dude. But OK, I'll get opportunity to
25:15
prove it. And when I do, I'm going to hit
25:18
you with a knife and turn and twist and say, hey, you should
25:20
have drafted me for everybody that passed me over in the in
25:23
the 98 draft. That was kind of my mindset for
25:26
every team I played against. You know what's funny, Because
25:29
we have a Nebraska guy in Joplin.
25:31
I was wondering, what does that do mean?
25:33
It seems like every Nebraska person that we've had on the
25:36
show that played for Nebraska football or Nebraska sports was
25:40
like, oh, he's that dude, He's that dude.
25:42
He's that dude that we actually created a segment, which we're
25:45
going to call it. He's that dude.
25:47
So now I'm starting to realize where this is coming from.
25:50
It's all from the the cornfields in Nebraska, fast.
25:53
Prince Mukamara, He's that dude. So no, no, he's that dude.
25:56
I'm that dude. We're all that dude.
25:58
I, I, that's what I'm starting to read.
25:59
The running back position has been an important position over
26:04
the last two years. And we look at the elite running
26:07
backs in the NFL. And I got a chance to meet
26:10
Ashton Genti at the Heisman the year before this.
26:14
Past. And I thought he was the Heisman
26:17
Trophy winner. I love what he did for Boise.
26:19
Stayed he he's got a great personality.
26:21
He was such a likable person. And I thought he got robbed.
26:24
And then I got a chance to watch him this year with the Raiders.
26:27
And I think the Raiders didn't use him right.
26:29
They didn't have the they didn't have the offensive line.
26:31
Like you said, you needed the beef up there.
26:33
They didn't really protect him. What do you think a running back
26:37
going into the NFL needs to know to make them understand the
26:42
speed of the game in the transition from college to the
26:45
NFL? That the speed of the game for
26:47
running back is going to come a lot easier because we are in the
26:52
thick of it. So we're right in the offensive
26:54
line in terms of ISO plays, counter outside zone pitch
26:58
plays, now the RPO action. So you're going to get it early,
27:02
you know, come preseason ball. And then by that time you played
27:05
a lot of preseason ball probably like you all say, for example,
27:08
Gente did because he was that dude, because they had, you
27:10
know, they had other people behind him, but he would, he was
27:12
drafted first round for a reason.
27:14
That makes it easier. And the really the other part is
27:17
a lot of people don't really, I don't think they see this is the
27:19
elephant in the room. Run plays are the same from the
27:22
high school level all the way up to the pro level.
27:24
That's. True ISO at a high school level,
27:26
it's the same ISO you run at Nebraska, the same ISO you run
27:29
at Boise State. To the I say my so you're going
27:31
to run it. The Raiders power, power gap
27:36
counter, outside toss outside zone.
27:39
It's the same footwork. So he's not having to think
27:43
about, OK, I got to learn cover 3 coverage and I got to learn
27:46
when they're going to blitz from the backside to the place.
27:48
What happens on the mug when the linebackers in an A&B get what
27:51
do I that's past stuff, OK, but you can live and learn and make
27:56
mistakes, but then pick it up fast.
27:58
But the run game, what we already do is we've been doing
28:01
it for 1215 years since Little League.
28:03
I don't think a lot of people miss that.
28:04
I'm like a lot of the run in Little League.
28:08
I was running at Green Bay, I was running at Seattle, I was
28:11
running at the Texans. So that means for 30 plus years
28:14
I've been doing this since I was yay high to a grasshopper.
28:17
So it's like, OK, you know, but for the quarterback position,
28:20
that's a whole different thing, right?
28:21
You know, you got players from the players to the DCS that are
28:25
disguising coverages. They're cheating, making a cover
28:28
three look like a cover 1. You know, it's all that for us.
28:31
The run game is like, okay, you run, you get the ball, you read
28:34
your blocks just like we did. And 5th grade, you watch the
28:38
double team up to the linebacker, then you make your
28:39
cut off of that. Nothing changes.
28:41
So if you have the talent and you know that going into every
28:45
game plan, then you're going to do things that everybody's going
28:48
to be like, Oh my God, why is he doing that?
28:49
I'm like oh cuz I paid attention.
28:51
Oh, I got it. So Armand Green is telling you
28:54
all, all the players out there that want to get into football,
28:57
be a running back. So if you have the athletic
29:00
ability and you don't really have to know anything, just
29:02
learn what you're learning in high school and peewee football
29:05
and you're going to do that you. Do have you do have to know
29:09
something? I'll say that one.
29:10
I say after that, after that, was it Mark?
29:14
You got to be the hammer, not the nail.
29:16
There you go. All right, don't, don't be
29:18
somebody that absorbs hits. Give it out.
29:22
If you're going to be a runner, be that dude.
29:24
Be like, OK, I want to make it a problem.
29:27
I want to make the defenders not want to be around me, basically.
29:30
And I remember one game he was, it was my Seattle, Seattle
29:34
couple years, I can't remember what game, rookie year maybe.
29:37
And we played against when they were still the Houston Oilers,
29:39
not at Tennessee Titans. And Max Strong, my full back,
29:44
you remember that name? Great full back, great full
29:47
back, great guy off the field, family man, awesome dude, great
29:50
full back on the field. And he had one and he went to
29:53
Georgia. We played the Oilers and one of
29:55
the guys on the Oilers was his teammate at Georgia was a
29:58
linebacker. I can't remember who it was, but
30:00
I remember Matt comes up and grabs me on the shoulder after
30:03
we're walking in. He's like AG, he said.
30:06
I don't know what you did, but one of my boys I went to college
30:08
with said till #30 to slow his ass down.
30:11
He's running too fast and hard. I'm like me.
30:15
You're doing it right, man. You're right.
30:17
I mean. I said I'm back.
30:19
I can't do that. I'm I'm fed.
30:20
I'm pedal to the metal for four quarters.
30:22
I know I'm not. I was even.
30:23
I was just on special teams dead blocking people in the tackle.
30:26
And he's like, slow down. I'm like, I ain't slowing down.
30:28
I ain't getting cut. What's your problem?
30:29
You better speed up with me. Come on.
30:31
There you go, You know. Keep up with the Greenster.
30:34
Yeah, exactly. My last question I'm on Nathan
30:37
was telling me you do a lot of stuff since you've retired from
30:40
the league with gaming. You actually caught taught at
30:42
Lakeland University a actually an E sports class.
30:45
You have your own gaming company now and you've also done some
30:47
broadcasting work, so talk about some of the stuff you've done
30:49
off. The field man, a little bit of
30:51
everything. So yeah, I coached at Lakeland
30:52
University for almost 2 years where I first semester was a
30:57
Madden Championship national title.
30:59
Curtis Dokey. Shout out to my man Curtis Dokey
31:01
who was the player that I coached. 13 and no season and we
31:04
beat, I believe, Mr. Mcgiggles from Carthage College and in the
31:09
NECC for a national title. Second, we were runner up the
31:13
second semester in the fall. And then about 12 or 13 playoff
31:18
bursts between Overwatch, Call of Duty, Fortnite players, FIFA,
31:22
Super Smash Brothers, Rowing Boat 6, Siege, League of
31:25
Legends, all those games. I've been a gamer since the age
31:28
of 5. My dad did that because he was
31:31
APC guy. He was a guy at a aviation
31:34
facility in north of California in South Central LA or Northup
31:38
Aviation, which is similar to Boeing.
31:41
And that's when it started for me.
31:42
And so now I've turned it into a the next passion, just like
31:45
football. I love doing it.
31:46
I love video games, but also I love the part that relates to
31:49
football or baseball. Basketball is the team aspect
31:53
and some of the skills you learn, you know, accountability,
31:55
you know, dedication, hard work. When you think about video
31:59
games, you probably don't think that because you think about
32:01
Pac-Man and some of the retro games.
32:03
Legend of Zelda, Yeah, those are the fun games.
32:05
I love. I love Zelda.
32:06
Love. Yeah, But yeah, you look at the
32:08
games today that are more competitive, right?
32:10
Call of Duty, Fortnite, Madden, you know, NBA2K, you know, those
32:15
games are have they have leagues.
32:17
So now at the college level, all around America and around the
32:19
world, they are universities, they're esports organizations
32:23
that now just like NBA players, just like NFL players, they,
32:28
they get drafted or they get picked up, they get signed and
32:30
they got to practice, they got training, they got to work on
32:33
their mechanics and all that. And so did that at Lakeland,
32:36
transferred over to Nebraska, had a couple.
32:39
I started that program there, helped that program get off the
32:42
ground. And now, you know, I just end up
32:45
doing my own thing, consulting now on the road.
32:47
I do E sports camps for kids, middle school, high school, then
32:50
down to middle school kids to teach them how to, you know,
32:53
play video games the proper way. You know, when you're going to
32:55
be in a team setting. Look, you got to hold your own.
32:58
You got to be accountable for your role.
33:00
If you're going to, you know, be a tank in Overwatch or you're
33:03
going to be the DPS in a in a matchup like Marvel.
33:07
I was anything I like. That's a great graphic.
33:10
I love it. Oh man.
33:12
But but yeah, teaching those fundamentals and so I'm doing
33:15
that as well. Have a couple podcasts and Mind
33:17
Greens Gamers Lounge, just one that's on Twitch, do that every
33:20
Wednesday at 2:00 PM. And then I do my believe in
33:23
Packers within the Believe network where I break down the
33:25
Packers and a season and all that and that's why I know about
33:29
them very much. And then now getting ready for a
33:31
combine, and I'm glad, look, Four got resigned.
33:34
They needed to do that because him not being resigned would
33:36
have been a problem for many reasons.
33:39
So good job with a goodie kiss, getting him signed back on and
33:42
getting ready for the combine. But then another job.
33:46
I say not job, but I say job. Yeah, I got brought into him.
33:49
I got moved down to Houston two years ago and a neighbor of
33:53
mine, we became friends, even though he's a Bears fan and a
33:55
Buckeyes fan, he's a great guy and I met his brother.
34:00
So it's Ken and Keith and we're both part of company business
34:03
that Ken came up with is called Emerging Due Diligence, where we
34:07
are AM and a company. So we're working in acquisitions
34:11
and for mergers and something I never thought I'd be a part of,
34:14
but what I found out is talking to Ken about it, that once we do
34:19
call to work with a company, they have to learn leadership
34:21
development. They got to learn some of those
34:23
leadership skills, become some. Sometimes at the top of a
34:26
Fortune 500 business, the CEO, the head, the founder may be the
34:31
problem. You know, like, for example, the
34:34
Detroit Lions 10 years ago, that wasn't the players on the field,
34:39
it was the people up top, the people that own the team, the
34:42
Fords, they couldn't figure out their right from left or do the
34:45
business right. Same with the Cowboys, right?
34:48
Jerry Jones even know he's a good businessman.
34:50
Sometimes the good businessman and women, they don't get out
34:53
the way of themselves to let football coaches be football
34:56
coaches or BGM. Let the GM be the GM and he's
34:59
the GM, you know, I'm saying, so teaching that leadership side of
35:02
it, accountability and stuff, that's my job with it.
35:05
Keith and Ken, him and his, him and his brother, they are the
35:08
part of the guys that do all the financial due diligence.
35:11
Make sure this company that we're going to work with is
35:13
going to be somebody that obviously is going to have
35:15
success and have the awareness to basically make pivots if they
35:20
need to and certain investments and pivots when they don't need
35:24
to. And so that's where we all come
35:25
in as a team. So I've been working on that
35:28
too. That's why I'm sweating, you
35:30
know? Are you?
35:31
You don't look like you're sweating.
35:32
Yeah, but but no, in that space, A space that I never thought I
35:35
would be in, in the financial space at the end of my football
35:38
career. So doing real good with that.
35:40
We got a couple projects going and I know one of them is a team
35:44
over in England that we're a part of and they're their
35:47
ownership. And it's so fun.
35:49
Like, man, I get to go watch a pitch over in the in in in
35:53
England and get a spot of T governor and also I love I love
35:57
that aspect. I like the look Green St.
36:01
Hooligans. I love that movie.
36:03
That's like. My favorite fantastic movie.
36:05
I love that. Movie I bought it like I I saw
36:08
it at Best Buy. I was in Green Bay when it came
36:10
out and I just it's something told me to buy it.
36:12
I said this one I saw the actors some of the actors are still
36:16
acting today doing fantastic job and something told me to buy it.
36:19
I watched that movie and I'm like, OK, they got us on fan
36:24
bases 100%. I know Packer fans are crazy.
36:27
I know bear fans are crazy. I know cowboy to Raider fans
36:32
stealer. No, you only get nothing on
36:34
soccer fans over in over in Europe and Asia and Africa where
36:37
there are other countries that. Beat the hell out of each other
36:40
and it's like it. It's to me.
36:42
Other than Philly fans, other. Than Philly fans, Philly fans,
36:46
after they win a Super Bowl, they're out there picking up
36:48
horse dump and putting it in their mouth.
36:50
I mean, some of the stuff that Philly fans do is this
36:53
absolutely ridiculous and we've had a lot of ex foot Philly
36:57
players that have come on this show and didn't even know that's
36:59
what Philly fans do. They were paying attention in it
37:01
doesn't take much like I knew right away, like the difference
37:05
between Packer fans and Philly fans, but I also knew Packer
37:08
fans could get a little rowdy, right?
37:11
So, for example, remember when Randy Moss scored the touchdown
37:14
and Lambeau? He faked like he was mooning the
37:17
crowd. That's right, I do remember that
37:18
game. He got that from the crowd
37:21
because the crowd moons the away team by the away team locker
37:24
room on the north side of the South side of Lambeau Field.
37:27
That's what I knew. So I wasn't mad at Randy.
37:30
I'm like, he just returning the favor to the fan boy.
37:32
Did you? Know.
37:33
Let me tell you, you know, by the way, we just so everybody
37:37
knows we are talking to 12 year Pro Bowl running back, former
37:41
Pro Bowl running back. I'm on green.
37:43
He's he's this the first time he's been on a show.
37:45
He's been sensational before we let you go and and I know you're
37:49
a busy man as you're sweating and I'm sweating too because and
37:52
we. Want you to fan on, that's what
37:54
I need. To do, by the way, this is this
37:56
is a great interview and then obviously you've never been on a
37:58
show. We'd love to get you back on the
37:59
show. I think you're sensational.
38:02
I think you have a great background not only with EA
38:05
Sports and and all the different video games, E Sports as they
38:08
call it. It's pretty amazing what you're
38:10
doing. Offset of football.
38:12
Who is the biggest pain in the ass on the football field?
38:15
Who talked the most crap and who was the guy that you just love
38:20
to play against every single game?
38:22
While the one that talked the most trash was Warren Sat, he
38:25
talked the most. Even when I'm.
38:27
I'm like walking away, trying to ignore him #30 Green, talk to
38:31
me. Come on, brother.
38:32
I'm like, shut up. Don't talk to me.
38:33
Talk to Brett. Leave me alone.
38:38
The guy that was a problem, Yeah.
38:41
On the football field, his teammate Derrick Brooks, Oh my
38:44
God, you talking about a problem?
38:47
He knew where he was smart. He's old when every time you run
38:50
the ball, a gap, B gap, don't matter, he's hitting you right
38:53
in your face. And then his teammate on top of
38:56
that, another Hall of Famer, John Lynch.
38:57
Like, God damn it. Like what the hell going?
38:59
On. I got to look left and right and
39:02
I still we're 47. I remember my first play in
39:04
Green Bay as a back in Tampa. Sorry packet.
39:07
We're in Tampa Bay and Dorsey gave me a warning.
39:10
He said AG when we get when you got him off the hollow every
39:13
play, whatever you do, find 47 pre snap.
39:17
Check the you know, check the perimeter, see where he's at
39:19
because he likes to hide. Sometimes safeties like to do
39:22
this, and he's like a linebacker.
39:24
It's not fair. He says so, 547 And of course,
39:27
break the huddle. 92 blasts. Green, right, 92 blasts.
39:31
I checked the perimeter. Goddammit, where's 47?
39:33
I can't find him. He.
39:34
Came out of nowhere and. Here's the and Brett goes into
39:37
cadence. You know, green 80 green a shit,
39:40
right? Take the ball.
39:40
I'm like, oh, I got a hole. Boom, I cut back.
39:43
Oh, there's 47. God damn it that hurt.
39:45
Oh my God, that hurt, right. They were a Tommy boy when he
39:48
got hit with the the 2 by 4 by David Spade.
39:50
Yes, that's what it's like. It don't hurt right here.
39:52
It don't hurt right here, but right around.
39:54
Here it hurts. I walked back to the other like,
39:57
God damn it, Dorsey was right. I said.
39:59
I didn't doubt Dorsey. I didn't.
40:00
I trusted him and he was dead on and never happened again after
40:04
that. Trust me, I knew where 47 was
40:06
that most of the time and then a guy that.
40:10
I say even though he's a Hall of Famer, we knew how to deal with
40:14
this dude was Mr. Urlacher down in Chicago.
40:16
We knew between me, my fullback and my offensive line, he was
40:20
lighting the ass. We love him that I love him to
40:22
death. He is my dude.
40:23
He's a good friend of mine. We talk a lot, we trash talk.
40:26
It's all fun and games, but we just knew that we had Will
40:29
Henderson. He was 61250.
40:31
I remember 55. I was 61220.
40:34
Prime weight was 218 and you got me both of of us running
40:38
downhill along with Mike Wall, Marco Rivera, Mike Flanagan,
40:41
Evanberry, Mark Tauscher, Clay Clifton.
40:43
You ain't once we get rolling, we like told coach Schumer,
40:46
don't even call nothing else other than 9296 counter gap and
40:51
95. Just let us run that the rest of
40:54
the drive because we got we got Urlacher on skates the whole
40:57
game like let's go. So so yeah, that's that answer.
41:00
I know that that probably I think that hit them all for all
41:03
your questions there. You did.
41:04
And by the way, Brian Urlacher, I've seen some of his weight
41:08
training when he was playing, he was benching like 550 like 10
41:12
times off the. Chest he had a good upper body.
41:14
He did his upper but he but if you check out, check out his
41:16
calves. Now I could see.
41:20
That's why he was so fast. Like when you get that
41:23
linebacker so fast because you look at his legs.
41:25
He was a sprinter. I mean, he had the talent, but
41:28
it's like, oh, wait a minute, you can't.
41:30
Forklift. You can't move things.
41:34
I mean, I mean, I hate to say it, but I think what's his name?
41:36
Jerome Bettis. He trucked them, too.
41:38
Oh yeah, That was a. Weakness we exposed it did you
41:41
ever in some cases, did you ever in some cases?
41:43
I love the Packers and and the Chicago Bears when they played
41:46
against one another every time just like I I couldn't stand
41:49
watching The Jets play the patriots because I knew what was
41:51
going to happen a whole nother story.
41:54
But anyways, I I don't want to get into The Jets and Patriots,
41:57
but E sports is now going to be an Olympic sport just so for all
42:00
the fans to know that E sports will be part of the Summer
42:05
Olympics I think in 2028, so 20. 28 in LA.
42:09
Yeah, I know you're excited about that.
42:11
I'm gonna be out there, man. I'm sure if I got a hitchhike
42:14
and get Scout some tickets, I'm trying to get in the stadium, in
42:19
the room. Hey, I know Snoop Dogg.
42:21
I know he's going to be a part of Olympics on some level.
42:23

favorites as far as interviewers, I've interviewed
42:58
thousands of people over the years.
43:00
But I think you're just down to earth.
43:01
You're straightforward. You shoot from the hip and, and
43:04
I love that about you. And to me, it defines who you
43:07
are as a player, as a teammate and as a person.
43:10
So thank you for joining us. We'll, we'll be in touch, my
43:12
friend. We will all be back on.
43:14
And like I said, I love when I the day I found out Jabba was

43:20
don't think that exists. Hold on.
43:22

44:13
outfield. So that is amazing.
44:16

44:37
sign the jacket and then just frame it as something after a
44:41
while. I mean, do you wash it?
44:43
Does it actually get washed? I would hope so, but sound
44:48
probably there's a potential that it doesn't.
44:50
I listen, man, he has got the the the weirdest as far as style
44:55
I've ever seen. He wears a red polo with
44:59

47:46
Woody Johnson is the topic of the day.
47:50
I'm going to share the screen of the website and again,
47:54
worldwidesportsradio.com, Everyone's checking out the
48:00
website. It's one of the hottest websites
48:03
out there. It is right over 100 hundred and
48:05
15,000 views so far for the week for the month.
48:10
So we're we're going to break 200,000 for the first time.
48:13
So for all the fans out there, thank you for reading the
48:15
stories and and checking out our posts.
48:17
Go ahead. That's pretty great.
48:19
That would make us over 200,000 to both downloads and then
48:23
website views each month. So crushing it guys keep keep
48:26
telling everybody about it If they would like good
48:28
entertainment, come check out the website, come check out the
48:30
show Woody call the plays. Johnson strikes again.
48:35
How to pay 12 million and still micromanage like it's fantasy
48:39
football. There he is, Mr. Woody Johnson.
48:43
Jet fans, gather round. Bring your coffee, your rage,
48:47
and maybe a helmet because this ride's about to get chaotic.
48:51
So let's break this down in plain English with Errol Marx
48:54
energy. Aaron Glenn has hired his head
48:56
coach. He's ready to build his staff.
48:58
He's about to bring in Don Martindale, AKA Wink, AKA Blitz,
49:03
from the parking lot for a second meeting.
49:06
And in the NFL interview speak, That's basically you're in the
49:09
elevator, where's your office? Then boom, enter Woody Johnson,
49:14
cigar in mouth, clipboard in hand, like he's the defensive
49:17
coordinator and the boss of the cheerleaders.
49:20
Hey, Aaron, I'm paying you 12 million, so I expect you to call
49:24
the place. Wait, what?
49:26
You pay a coach a dozen $1,000,000 to hire his guys, and
49:29
then you turn around and micromanage him like you're
49:31
choosing toppings at a pizza bar?
49:33
That's not leadership. That's fantasy football energy.
49:38
All right. We're going to start with this
49:39
one, just a more generic one. This is Dan Stevens 6515.
49:43
Aaron Glenn proved this year he had no clue what he was doing.
49:47
Thank you Dan for giving us your own opinion.
49:50
I I agree that he was up and down all season long.
49:53
But think about this, Dan, they had a chance to win eight games
49:56
this year. They choked against the Broncos
49:59
at the tail end of the game they chose to get, they choked
50:01
against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, actually choked
50:04
against the Steelers in the first game of the season.
50:07
That right there is 3 games they could have won which would have
50:10
made them six. It would have gave them six
50:12
wins. So yes, he didn't look like he
50:14
had any clue. A lot of coaches in their first
50:17
season did Dan Campbell actually know or even look like he had a
50:21
clue in his first year with the Lions, He did it.
50:24
So I agree with you. He looked like he didn't have a
50:26
clue. That doesn't mean you throw him
50:28
out and give up on him. That's all I'm saying.
50:30
All right, the next one. This is all Shawl Parish.
50:33
They should blame Aaron. He hasn't made a single decision
50:35
that makes sense. He's gaslighted the fans.
50:37
I think you were dumb with this shitty attitude, including this
50:39
off season. Thank you all Shall Parrish for
50:42
giving us your take. And I agree with you.
50:44
I don't like how he speaks to the media and, and how he speaks
50:47
to the fan and he doesn't want to give the media any
50:49
information that's going on outside of the locker room.
50:52
He doesn't want to give you any injury reports.
50:55
So I agree with you. I think he needs to be more
50:56
upfront with the with the fans and, and, and obviously the
51:00
media. You're here in New York.
51:01
You should be open to giving the answers.
51:04
But I got to give Aaron Glenn a little bit more credit, even
51:07
though he looks like he doesn't give enough.
51:10
At least he's not doing the things that other coaches have
51:13
done, like Robert Sala airing out information to broadcasters
51:17
and different personalities offset out of the locker room.
51:20
And then how about Mike Pettin throwing players in and the
51:24
organization under the bus when he was with Rex Ryan?
51:26
So at least Aaron Glenn isn't doing that.
51:29
But I agree with you, he should be more upfront with the fans.
51:32
All right, let's go to one that actually features Robert Sala.
51:34
So he kind of agrees with you about Woody Johnson.
51:36
This is Pierce, SD 8654. He's the the only owner to ever
51:41
get an F on an NFL PA report card, and that says all you need
51:43
to know about the way Woody Johnson runs the team.
51:44
But hence why Sala and Bowles got another job elsewhere.
51:48
All right, so Pierce, thank you for giving us your take.
51:51
Here's the thing, I could careless what any magazine or
51:55
any report card is giving me as an owner.
51:58
He spends money, does he not? He opens up his pockets, does he
52:00
not? The only thing that I could take
52:02
shots at Woody Johnson now this offseason is the fact that he
52:06
would not bring in Wink Martindale because he would
52:09
rather pay his his coach $12 million.
52:13
If you're going to complain about a couple of measly
52:15
millions of dollars when you're that you're the owner of the
52:17
team, you're a multi billionaire, there's a problem.
52:19
But as far as him getting graded an F, I mean, there are a lot of
52:23
other organizations and a lot of other owners that you can give
52:26
FS to, which they didn't. He gave him an F fine.
52:29
Is he a smart guy? He's an intelligent businessman,
52:32
not very good football man. So I agree with you, I grade him
52:36
an F2. But who cares what I think?
52:37
Who cares what any of these magazines or anybody's writing
52:40
and giving your take to? So who cares?
52:42
All right, this one from what it's time you'll know there's
52:45
some organizations where the primary goal is to win the Super
52:47
Bowl every year. The Jets are not one of those
52:48
teams on the ownership and front office level.
52:50
All right, So what is it? What?
52:52
What is it again? All.
52:53
Right, so we got. When is it time?
52:55
What is it? When it's time, you'll know.
52:56
OK, when it's time, you know, thank you for your your take on
53:00
that. And I agree, maybe The Jets
53:01
don't know as an organization what to do.
53:03
And The Jets have made a lot of mistakes over the last couple of
53:06
years with the coaches, Bambi, obviously, Todd Bowles, Eric
53:10
Mangini, you name it, they've made it.
53:12
They've struck out on coaches and they struck out on players.
53:14
They struck out on getting rid of Sam Donald for a second and
53:18
4th and he wins the Super Bowl with another team in Seattle
53:21
because they should have just SAT and and really developed
53:24
him. Jamal Adams came out on social
53:25
media to attack The Jets with that.
53:27
So you're not wrong about that. But there are other teams going
53:30
back to the primary source of all these other organizations
53:34
that have completely bombed 1 here in New York, the New York
53:36
Giants. Have the Giants done the right
53:38
thing for their organization over the last couple of years?
53:40
Yes, they won in 2007. Yes, they won in 2011 and
53:44
knocked off the undefeated Patriots.
53:46
But look what they've done in the last couple of years when it
53:48
came to coaches and GMs. They have struck out and the one the
53:52
guy that they had and Tom Coughlin they gave up on.
53:54
So I agree The Jets are an organization that completely
53:57
falls flat on their face, but there are organizations all
54:00
through the league that are not successful.
54:02
All right, last one Haas Mir 12 Jet fancy to stop going to the
54:07
GameStop buying merchandise and make him sell.
54:09
Do the right thing and hopefully he'll sell the team to someone
54:10
who will bring them back to respectability.
54:12
Haas, Mir, thank you for your take.
54:14
Here's what I'm going to say. Nobody's going to stop buying
54:17
merchandise. Nobody's going to spot, stop
54:19
buying tickets because The Jets are going to find ways to give
54:23
you a good deal. Now that we we've seen this over
54:26
and over and over again where teams are really, really bad.
54:28
They're not going to sell out and all that other stuff.
54:30
Here's the thing, we're in New York.
54:32
The New York Knicks have been bad for 2530 years.
54:35
They sell out Madison Square Garden.
54:36
The Rangers have been up and down.
54:37
They haven't won a championship since 1994.
54:40
They still sell out games. The Islanders over the years,
54:43
even at the UPS Arena, the UBS Arena, they sold out more games
54:47
than they the Brooklyn Nets because they're James Harden and
54:50
Kyrie Irving trying to sell tickets out of the stadium
54:53
because nobody gave a crap about the basketball team.
54:55
What I'm saying is here in New York, as long as their teams
54:59
here and as long as their teams that are competently playing
55:03
those games and not choking and I mean choking, not showing up
55:07
to the games, they're going to sell out as many tickets as they
55:09
possibly can. And if they don't, they'll sell
55:12
them on StubHub or something else.
55:14
And and by the way, everybody's going to buy merch because the
55:17
jet fans are the most dedicated fans in I believe in the NFL.
55:21
It doesn't matter how bad The Jets have been over the years.
55:23
They sell out games, they buy jersey.
55:25
Do you know that The Jets have the 10th most sellable jerseys
55:30
in all of the NFL? Did you know that I could
55:32
believe that their jersey sell they're in the top ten in all of
55:36
the league when it comes to merch.
55:38
Why The Jets stink. What it tells me is the fans are
55:41
dedicated behind the behind the players and behind the
55:44
organization. So that's never never going to
55:46
happen. So I agree with you, right?
55:48
Why not show up to the games? That's not going to stop anybody
55:51
buying tickets or even going to games and buying merch.
55:55
So thank you to all the the guys that gave us your takes.
55:58
We really appreciate you. We'll be doing this every single
56:01
week and I'll give you my take to it.
56:03
And I listen, I agree with all the Jet fans.
56:05
The Jets are not a very smart organization, but they're How
56:08
many great organizations are there in the NFL?
56:11
7 I was going. To say you mentioned in your
56:15
article there's a couple owners that are worse.
56:16
I definitely agree with you on the Browns and the Panthers.
56:19
There, there are a lot of bad owners.
56:20
I mean, Miami, you going to tell me Miami has a great ownership
56:23
over there? I mean, come on, guys.
56:25
I, I understand that The Jets are not an organization you want
56:28
to play for, but the Giants haven't won since 2011.
56:32
The Giants have lost as many games as the New York Jets have
56:35
in the last 10 to 12 years. You're going to tell me that
56:38
John Harbaugh made the right decision going to the New York
56:40
Giants over any other team and other any other organization?
56:44
No, it was about money. It's always about money.
56:47
That's all I'm going to say about that.
56:48
And and listen, if The Jets fire Aaron Glenn at the end of the
56:51
season, which they probably might, they'll bring in Jon
56:54
Gruden or somebody else that will take the reins of this
56:57
organization and get more power. And it's all about power in
57:01
professional sports and money. That's all that matters.
57:04
If you get the money, you get the power.
57:06
They don't care where the team is and where the organization is
57:09
going to lead to. So that's all I'm going to say
57:11
about that. Thank you to all the fans tuning
